Scented dishwashing detergent products for cleaning dishware are known. Typically, dishwashing detergent manufacturers develop perfume technology that provides a pleasant scent and masks malodors associated with soiled dishware.
However, not all odors are effectively controlled by products on the market as amine-based malodors such as fish malodors, and sulfur-based malodors such as garlic and onion are difficult to combat. Further, the time required for a product to noticeably combat malodors may create consumer doubt as to a product's efficacy on malodors. For example, the consumer may finish washing a dish and leave the area before the product begins to noticeably reduce the malodor.
The difficulty in overcoming a broad range of malodors has spawned a diverse assortment of products to neutralize, mask, or contain the malodors. There remains a need for a dishwashing detergent composition that cleans dishware and is effective on a broad range of malodors, including amine-based and sulfur-based malodors, while not overpowering malodors with an overwhelming perfume.
